Clive James ?
Another one who is practically dead already !!
In April 2011, after media speculation that he had suffered kidney failure,[29] James confirmed that he was suffering from B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and had been under treatment for 15 months at Addenbrooke's Hospital.[30] In an interview with BBC Radio 4 in June 2012, James admitted that the disease "had beaten him" and that he was "near the end".[31] He revealed that he was also diagnosed with lung disease and kidney failure in 2010.[32]
